Features of furniture design, important nuances and stages of work

Furniture design is carried out in two stages:

1. artistic and constructive development;
2. design development.

These stages are established by RTM13-0273250-2-85. Each stage contains its own stages of development, has specific goals, and solves specific problems. The artistic and design development stage has two stages - technical proposal and preliminary design.

Technical Proposal. It is being developed with the aim of finding options for artistic and design solutions in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the technical specifications. At the Technical Proposal stage, the following work is carried out: collection and study of data; identification of basic structural and finishing materials; development of graphic works displaying options for artistic and design solutions and the choice of solution; review and agreement of the technical proposal with the customer.

Graphic materials of the technical proposal must contain images of product variants, allowing one to get an idea of ​​the interaction of the main parts and principles of operation of the product, dimensions and other data applied to the image. The procedure for preparing graphic works of a technical proposal is established by the development organization. The customer's approval of the technical proposal is the basis for the development of a preliminary design.

Preliminary design. It is developed with the aim of establishing artistic and design solutions that give a complete understanding of the shape of the product, its component parts and the fundamental design solution, which makes it possible to understand the structure and principle of operation of the product. They link the designed product with the interior, identify the stylistic orientation of the product, its functionality, determine the overall dimensions and other parameters.

At the Draft Design stage, the following work is performed: development of the accepted version of the artistic and design solution of the product; production and testing of a mock-up or experimental sample. The main document of the preliminary design is an artistic and design general view, which should contain: an image of the product (types, sections, sections, extensions); dimensions and other data applied to images; the text part necessary for understanding the artistic and design solution (color, texture, etc.) The preliminary design agreed upon with the customer is the basis for the development of a technical project. The design development stage includes a technical design and working documentation.

Technical project. It is developed with the aim of implementing final technical and design solutions that provide a complete understanding of the structure of the product being developed and the initial data for the development of working documentation.

At the Technical Design stage, the following work is carried out: final development of the design solution; analysis of the product design for manufacturability, taking into account its provision in the conditions of a specific production; assessment of the product based on standardization and unification indicators; final detailing of decorative design materials and finishing technology; production and testing of an experimental sample. The technical design is coordinated with the order and approved by the developer.

Approval of an experimental model by the Artistic and Technical Council of the Ministry of Forestry and Bump and Industry of the USSR or union republics or Gosgrazhdanstroy under the State Construction Committee of the USSR in the prescribed manner is the basis for the development of working documentation.

Working design documentation. During its creation, additional artistic and design solutions for the product are developed, stipulated by the protocol of the Artistic and Technical Council. The Detailed Design Documentation stage includes design documents that contain all the necessary data for the manufacture, control and testing of the product.

Types of design documents

At various stages of design and during the production process of products, there is a need for certain design documents. Design documents are divided into text and graphic documents. Graphics are all types of drawings. Text documents include explanatory notes, specifications, statements, technical conditions, tables.

Let's consider the purpose and content of the main design documents.

Graphic documents. Part drawing is a graphic representation of a part indicating the parameters necessary for manufacturing and control. An assembly drawing depicts an assembly unit. It gives an idea of ​​the mutual connection and arrangement of the component parts. According to this drawing, assembly, production and control of the assembly unit are carried out.

The general drawing determines the design of the product, the interaction of its components, the principle of operation and operation of the product.

Dimensional drawing is a simplified image of the product. Gives an idea of ​​its appearance. It has overall and other dimensions necessary for packaging, transportation and determining the occupied floor area and volume of the product.

An installation drawing is a simplified image of a product or its components with the necessary data for its installation. It is developed for products that are supplied to the retail chain in disassembled form, or that need to be attached to the building structures (floor, ceiling, walls) of the premises.

Architectural drawing is a graphic image made in artistic design on tablets in axonometry in pencil, paint or ink.

Interior drawing is a graphic representation of furniture in the interior.

Text documents. Specification is a document defining the composition of an assembly unit, complex or kit. The specification may contain information about the materials and design documents required for the manufacture of the product.

The explanatory note contains data that is not indicated on the general drawings, for example, the composition of the designed object, the presence of components for the product and other data.

The technical description of the product is developed in accordance with the instructions. It must contain an introductory part and sections: 1) description of the product, type of protective decorative coating; 2) general appearance, internal structure, overall and functional dimensions; 3) designs and materials; 4) requirements for the supply of furniture to the retail chain.

The map of the technical level and quality of the product is intended to assess the quality of the product. This document contains data that determines the technical level of product quality and the compliance of its indicators with the achievements of science, technology and the needs of the national economy.

Design programs

Despite the fact that there are few programs for designing upholstered furniture, they still exist. It is worth paying attention to the following utilities for designing furniture for your home.

In any case, seeing the interior items at the stage of planning the space of the rooms will help you accurately determine which furniture will look more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing in the room.

Stages of furniture design.

The furniture design process occurs according to the established order, namely:

Sketch is an important design stage

• Development of basic requirements for a future piece of furniture (creation of technical parameters).
• Development of technical parameters. The stage involves the selection of materials, the assignment of functionality, constructability, and aesthetic parameters.
• Project sketch. Types of product variants are created, documentation is drawn up, according to the parameters of which an experimental sample can be created. After it is approved by the artistic and technical council, a recommendation for production is given.
• The final stage of developing design documentation.
• Development of working documentation (product drawings, parts, registration of certificates). There are two people involved in this process: the designer and the designer. The main work lies on the shoulders of the designer, who determines the external parameters, functionality, and design features. The designer's job is to reproduce the design concept in the drawings.

Development of a sketch will allow a preliminary assessment of the appearance of the furniture.
Development of a sketch and technical developments by the designer occur when determining: line, shape, dimensional values, number and capacity of storage elements. Their location relative to each other is determined in the process of determining functionality, ergonomics, and style.

It is important to place all the dimensions of the furniture on the drawing

1. Ease of manufacture, manufacturability, degree of comfort, cost (determining the design of the product).
2. Interchangeability of assembly parts, their delivery in disassembled form.
3. Unification of elements (multifunctionality, layout, diversity, complexity) of compliance of the basic properties of raw materials with operational parameters, reliability, safety, aesthetics, efficiency, optimization of technological processes, minimization of labor costs.
4. Options for facing materials, colors, finishing, decoration.
5. Reliability of the finished product, viability, compliance with regulatory documents.

The 3D model can be used to visualize the project

What to pay attention to

When designing ordinary cabinet furniture, everything is simple, just select the desired shape, design, fasteners and the drawing template is ready. With upholstered furniture, things are a little different. It is important to understand what details must be present in upholstered furniture, so as not to miss something important.

Frame

Various materials and fasteners can be used to design the frame.

Also, for the basis of upholstered furniture, it is important that the design contains reliable movable parts, thanks to which the mechanism will unfold and fold.

Therefore, when creating a frame project for upholstered furniture, it is necessary to pay attention to the following nuances:

• what material is specified in the project;
• Is there enough fastening elements on the sketch, which are the basis for the durability and stability of the structure;

Drawing with dimensions of a soft corner for the kitchen

Padding

It is very important that in the process of creating an upholstered furniture project, such an important point as the internal content is not forgotten. This happens:

Each of these materials has its own useful functions, so it is necessary to take this fact into account during the project development process.

Upholstery coating

This question is also important in the process of drawing up the design of a future sofa or chair. It is important not to lose sight of this point, because the absence of this seemingly trifle can lead to rapid damage to the product. As a rule, the padding is covered with nylon, which protects the fabric from rapid wear and contamination from the inside.

Upholstery

The above factors are important for the comfort and durability of the products. The appearance of the product plays a greater role than the quality parameters.

Design of upholstery material in a special program

Therefore, design is the nuance that, perhaps, is paid most attention to when creating a furniture project for an apartment or house. In the upholstery you need to pay attention:

• on the color scheme;
• material;
• combination of raw materials with each other.

Often people choose upholstered furniture made from natural raw materials. This is justified by the fact that this furniture option not only fits harmoniously into the space and layout of any apartment interior, but is also beneficial for the health of the residents of the house. Therefore, when drawing up a project, it is worth paying tribute to the selection of furniture made from natural raw materials.

Advantages of individual furniture design, stages of work

Quite often, store-bought furniture cannot be placed comfortably. It interferes with free movement around the room, does not fit into the desired corner, drawers do not open all the way, and open doors block the passage. Such inconveniences are due to the fact that each room has its own characteristics. Furniture design helps to take them into account and choose the right environment - creating a visual representation of the arrangement of objects in the future interior. If all technical requirements are met, almost any idea can be brought to life.

Why do upholstered furniture projects

In general, projects are carried out by almost all companies offering goods such as upholstered furniture. Seeing a future sofa or chair in 3D is important for the following reasons:

1. To visually imagine what the product will look like.
2. See how the piece of furniture will look in the space of the room and kitchen.
3. Inspecting upholstered furniture at the stage of planning the arrangement of furniture and replacing the corresponding interior unit will help you choose the ideal color scheme that will fit perfectly into the overall picture of the room.
4. Thanks to special programs, you can create unique design ideas for upholstered furniture.

It follows that programs for designing upholstered furniture will largely serve those people who need it. Therefore, their use is justified and important.

Features of drawing up individual projects

When updating or creating an interior, design allows you to make sure that furniture from a store or custom-made will fit the dimensions of a particular room. In addition, it helps to use the available space wisely. If there are no specific nuances or creative ideas, you can use a standard project - there are quite a lot of them on thematic resources. And any organization specializing in this work can provide them. When a room requires taking into account certain details, or you simply want to realize ideas that differ from the standard ones, an individual furniture project is more suitable.

In this case, the exact correspondence of the imagined design to the dimensions of the room is ensured, and the maximum combination of convenience, functionality and comfort is achieved. You can use different materials, colors, and create an interior that fully meets the needs and tastes of the homeowners. It should be understood that such work requires time to find ways to implement ideas or adapt them to technical requirements, as well as to coordinate all changes. In addition, the cost of an individual project is much higher than a standard one, and a small probability of error still remains.

In what cases do you need hand-made furniture?

Let's look at a few situations where making furniture yourself can be justified.

The first case is described above, when the room has a non-standard size or configuration. It is not possible to select factory furniture for such a room. And ordering from a furniture company will be too expensive.

The second situation refers to the case when the creative component comes to the fore.

Creating your own version of furniture will not only help you save money, but will also bring emotional satisfaction from the work done.

What to consider when designing

There are several nuances that are important to consider when drawing up a drawing:

1. The width of the drawers should be less than that of swing doors - otherwise they will get stuck and will be difficult to pull out.
2. The number of compartments depends on the number of doors: one for three doors, two for four. This ensures accessibility of all storage areas.
3. Not all areas are suitable for placing boxes - some are called "dead". These include, for example, the edges of doors.
4. The need for additional supports for shelves longer than 50 cm.
5. Sliding structures must have stoppers to prevent the doors from opening or closing on their own.
6. It is advisable to make the doors the same width so that the opening opens as much as possible.

Before taking measurements, it is worth making a sketch of the room, showing on it all the protruding elements (pipes, window sills, any others), as well as the location of sockets, openings, switches. You need to find out the following parameters:

• room dimensions - width, height, length;
• distance from the floor to the window sill, from the corner to the beginning of the window, parameters of window openings;
• the width and height of doorways, the distance from them to the corner;
• diameter of communication pipes, distance to them from the wall, from the corner;
• height from the floor to sockets, switches;
• the width and height of all protruding elements;
• in the kitchen - location of sewerage, drainage, dimensions of built-in household appliances.

Measurements are taken only after all finishing work has been completed.

Stages of work

Furniture design is a long process consisting of several stages. In some cases, you can handle it yourself, but to implement complex steps, it is better to turn to professionals. The final result must take into account many details - from dimensions and materials to filling, external design, fastening and front fittings.

Preliminary

Even before making calculations, you need to provide an approximate result:

• choose what furniture will be placed in the room, where exactly;
• carry out all necessary measurements;
• starting from them, think over the dimensions of each element of furniture;
• decide on the content, colors, style, materials, and other design features;
• consolidate all received data into a single document.

At the preliminary stage, it is convenient to rely on general design rules. For example, narrow tall cabinets look good in a small room, light colors visually expand the space, and dark furniture adds intimacy to a spacious room.

Creating a Sketch

At this stage, basic calculations are carried out and all structural elements are drawn. The more accurately everything is done, the clearer the final visual representation of the project will be, the easier it will be to figure out whether it is feasible, successful, or requires improvement. Sketch drawings include:

• clarification of materials and colors approximately selected at the previous stage;
• planning design;
• accurate calculation of parameters;
• geometric design (3D).

It is better to invite a specialist to take measurements. A competent furniture designer will not only make accurate calculations, but will also tell you how to take into account the nuances of the room, while realizing all your ideas.

Technical project

The final stage is carried out in one of the special programs, in which all the details of the project are indicated. With a computer designer, the risk of error is minimized, time and effort are saved. There are many such tools, some of which are used most often.

We design furniture

Design may include several stages from preparation of technical specifications to testing of prototypes.

You can design in absolutely any way. As I wrote at the beginning of the article, when it comes to design, many people start talking about working in computer programs. Yes, working in the program has undoubted advantages. This includes speed of work and the ability to avoid many mistakes - but this is not the main thing.

Understand one simple thing. Any program is just a shovel. But if you are a bad digger, then no matter what super shovel you have, your ditch will still be crooked and sloppy.

Any computer program is simply a reflection in a model or drawing of your thoughts, ideas, knowledge and skills. Nothing more. If you have an understanding of what needs to be designed, you will draw it by hand. Without any program.

At the beginning of my not even a design career, but while I was working in a carpentry shop, my boss and I sat down and drew sketches by hand. With dimensions, details. They signed what, where and how. It took us a little time, but such preliminary work gave us a very clear understanding of what needed to be done.

It was later that computer programs appeared and there was such an erroneous opinion that if I have mastered a program for designing furniture, then I can already design. This is all nonsense; if you can, you can design without a program. And if you don’t know what and how to design, then no program will help you.

But let's return to our project. From the concept approved by the customer, we create a design for our future product. With all the details, sections and explanations - practically a working drawing.

How and where to start designing furniture

Designing the future design and construction of furniture is not just a whim to visualize a picture of the situation, it is an accurate study of all the elements on which the functionality of the interior will depend.
A project from a professional craftsman is based on the client’s desires and his lifestyle, so during its preparation you need to perform several main tasks:

• organize space correctly; • choose a combination of textures, style and color of materials; • think over communications; • comply with all the client's wishes.

What is a furniture design project?

This service will allow you to design furniture that will be distinguished by its individuality, because elaboration in detail will make it possible to think through all the nuances in advance, such as lighting, sockets, color, location and fittings.

The most popular method to create such a project is to use the special PRO100 program. It allows you to quickly and easily create a sketch and view it in different planes. The program is easily accessible on the Internet, but you must understand that a beginner can make mistakes when designing, so it is better to entrust this to a master of his craft.

Moreover, by contacting a specialist, in addition to the project, you will receive:

• a complete list of all parts indicating their sizes; • plan with all dimensions of the room; • specifications of all products, including a list of all materials, colors and fittings.

The benefits of DIY design

Projects can be standard or individual

The design of cabinet furniture is based on calculations, implementation of diagrams and drawings. This will help to achieve a reliable and high-quality product. There are standard projects and individual ones. The first ones are distinguished by their ease of execution and accessibility. Individual projects are tailored to a specific style. Special programs are used for creation. This allows you to implement unique, complex models. There are many benefits to doing this kind of work.

1. The product will exactly correspond to the dimensions of the room and the specific space allocated for it.
2. The device and appearance will be unique, original, one of a kind.
3. The style is thought out to the smallest detail, ideal for the overall design of the room.
4. You can use various materials and textures.
5. Thanks to the ability to realize any ideas and ideas, you will get exactly the desired model. It will fully meet your requirements.

When designing furniture with your own hands, be prepared for a lot of time. The work is painstaking, long and will require complete immersion and attention. It can be difficult to implement the created project due to individual characteristics.

Before you start creating a product, it is important to acquire some skills, including the ability to draw up diagrams and make drawings. This will help you avoid difficult mistakes when realizing what you want.

What does design consist of?

The design process itself consists of several stages.

1. Determine the style of the room. There are often situations when the design of a room was chosen in one style, but the set and the furniture itself turn out to be in another, so experts recommend determining the style of furniture that you like, and only then choosing wallpaper, parquet, laminate or ceiling covering. Fortunately, the furniture industry currently guarantees a wide range of products. 2. Draw a furniture layout diagram. Very often, clients come to the designer with a completed photo and a desire to repeat everything that is indicated there, but you must understand that there are no two identical projects, and something in your version will have to be changed, adjusting, so to speak, the furniture to your area - designer will be required to work out functional areas specifically for you. 3. We arrange communications. Once you have visualized your future furniture, you can begin arranging sockets, switches, ventilation and other details. To minimize those cases when wires are located in a visible place or the space is occupied by extension cords, you need to immediately plan places for lighting and connecting equipment. For example, you can imagine the kitchen, because that is where most of the equipment is concentrated. You must immediately decide where, for example, the dishwasher is connected, and whether you will have one at all, where you connect mixers, blenders, etc.

4. Interior furniture space. Appearance, of course, is very important, but you should never forget about the internal content. At the bottom of the furniture, regardless of what we are talking about, it is better to place drawers; they can be external or internal. In a closet, you should also take care of the top part; a crossbar for hangers would fit perfectly there. Don't forget about the depth of this product. If we are talking about kitchen furniture, then it is better to equip the upper shelves with lifts, and the lower ones with drawers or shelves. The experts also recommend not to forget to use cargo, a carousel for a corner cabinet and pencil cases for built-in appliances - in the kitchen, and wisely use the space under sofas and beds. 5. Calculation of materials. At this stage, it's time to decide on the materials. This is one of the most important issues that interests the customer, but in fact, the same style of furniture involves the use of different materials that differ in their qualities and prices. So, for example, plastic can be replaced with laminated chipboard, wood with veneer, frame MDF with similar natural materials. It is also possible to save money on manufacturers, that is, choose cheaper analogues for expensive brands. Don’t forget to take care of the structure’s frame; among all the manufacturers, Egger and Kronopol have proven themselves to be excellent. 6. Select fittings. It is worth saying that fittings are the second most expensive item of expenditure, because they also determine how easily and long the furniture will serve you. Closing hinges are perfect for MDF facades. It is worth noting that the overall picture depends on how exactly a particular box will be opened.

Selection of materials

The first step in creating cabinet furniture with your own hands is choosing the optimal materials. However, home craftsmen do not always understand what certain structural elements are made of. Before starting work, it is important to consider the cost, characteristics of the samples and the load on individual parts. Therefore, to determine the best options, you should consider different types of materials intended for different parts of the furniture.

For the basis of the design

The base of any cabinet product must be strong enough to withstand various loads. Therefore, most manufacturers prefer proven natural wood. Solid wood is one of the most reliable materials used in furniture construction.

Furniture panels are very popular. The product is distinguished by a smooth, even surface, as well as unique performance characteristics. Due to the adhesive base, the material can last for a long time.

Wood is characterized by both advantages and disadvantages. The properties of the material directly depend on the selected price category. The more expensive the product, the more advantages there will be:

• environmental friendliness;
• attractive appearance;
• possibility of multiple restoration.

The disadvantages include:

• fear of fire;
• exposure to water;
• ease of mechanical damage;
• the need for constant care.

Among wood boards, chipboard is considered the leader - a material that is made from small chips and larger shavings. A simple, affordable and relatively lightweight sample with a smooth texture. In addition to its excellent load-bearing characteristics, chipboard is considered a universal option for designing cabinet furniture due to its large selection of colors. The main condition is to select not the cheapest sample, since low-quality products contain formaldehyde.

Advantages of individual furniture design, stages of work

Plywood is used less frequently, since this type of raw material tends to delaminate when exposed to moisture. In a humid environment, products completely lose their original shape, so it is recommended to use plywood only when assembling cabinet structures for bedrooms and living rooms.

For facades

Materials for façade elements differ in appearance. The surface of such parts has a smooth texture. Modern versions of facades are often made from solid wood. Natural wood is treated with protective compounds and can be covered with decorative films. There is, however, a small drawback - solid wood is too heavy. As a result, the fittings receive excessive stress during frequent use.

Lightweight material MDF has gained great popularity. The slabs are created using sawdust, which is crushed to a powder state. Thanks to the medium-density fiber coating, famous furniture companies began designing parts with a curved surface.

The most common material is chipboard. Laminated board is used for a variety of reasons. This sample is similar to chipboard, but has several significant advantages:

• prevents formaldehyde from evaporating;
• holds fasteners confidently;
• has an aesthetic appearance;
• has a wide variety of colors and characteristic texture;
• resistant to high temperatures;
• characterized by low cost.

Façade components based on aluminum profiles are also very popular. These are ready-made panels with dimensions ideally suited to customers' individual designs. Products can be made of both metal and chipboard.

Laminated chipboard is much easier to cut due to the presence of a laminated layer that holds the sheet.

Glass deserves special attention - the best solution for arranging kitchens and living rooms in a modern style. To equip furniture with high-quality material, you need to choose the appropriate type of glass. The usual variety shatters into many small particles upon impact. Safety glass is a special sheet that, if damaged, does not form small fragments. In addition, a special multilayer glass - triplex - is often installed.

Working with each material requires care and precision. For example, MDF and laminated chipboard must be carefully processed with a sanding tool. The difference between glass is that it simply needs to be cut to specified sizes. Installation is mainly done using adhesive compounds. But the installation of wood will require the use of special fasteners.

Accessories

When creating cabinet furniture with your own hands, you cannot do without fittings that can perform various functions. Some of the most common designs are guides, roller systems and hinges.

When installing each type of fittings, several factors must be taken into account. The parts must function without any obstacles or friction, so precise markings must be made initially. Installation of fittings must be done carefully so as not to damage the façade parts. Particular attention is paid to closers and guides, since the accuracy of fastening can significantly extend the service life of furniture systems.

Features you need to pay attention to when designing kitchen furniture

The main goal that needs to be pursued when creating a kitchen sketch is to correctly arrange the work area; all the necessary large appliances, sink and stove should be located comfortably for the housewife. And don’t forget that you should provide enough space for storing dishes, food and other things.

When designing a sketch of your kitchen, you should adhere to the following plan:

• mark the door, window, niche and partition; • make a list of all the equipment that will be installed in the kitchen and place it on the sketch; • think about the lighting; often, one chandelier creates a shadow during work that gets in the way, so you can additionally illuminate the work area.

By following these recommendations, you will create your own unique project.
